Clara Cooper-Mullin and I scoped the shorebirds in McKinley Quarry from Shrum Mound in Columbus this afternoon. The mudflats remain extensive in the quarry, and today, we found 6 species of shorebirds. The most unusual was a Baird's Sandpiper associating with a flock of Least Sandpipers. The shorebirds are all very distant at this location, but hopefully it will continue to host good numbers of shorebirds through the fall.
